Starting salaries are 40-50k, you can start a business, you can definately help people...what's not to love? You'll probably enjoy it, you clearly already enjoy blogging in part, about finance! I suggest however that if you find your courses in a finance major are gearing you towards investment finance, and if you are not interested in investment finance, steering yourself towards a major in management. For us, about 50% of our credits are the same in any major, but you'd obviously want to check with your institution. Hope you enjoy finance as much as I do!

You've got to have a degree in today's world, and you probably just need to forge ahead and do whatever it takes. I too am going back in the fall and it's gonna be tough. Just be thankful you're not already married with two kids! Good for you. You’ve got to have a degree in today’s world, and you probably just need to forge ahead and do whatever it takes.

You could be setting yourself uup for an interesting career, and with a fairly unique background, you're definitely going to stand out and attract intelligent people's attention. Great idea.
